Some communities collect old cell phones and give them to the elderly. You can use any cell phone to call 911 even if it is no longer connected to a cell service. I know the local Verizon stores do this as well.
We get a bin for cans and paper, though I shred most of the paper and use it in our compost bin. I have been composting for about 10 years. -----Original Message----- From: Maureen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 17, 2011 10:21 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Postal workers locked out We have a huge recycle bin divided in half - one side for paper - one side for plastics and glass. Also, a huge green container for yard waste and a smaller one that sits under the sink for compost. All furnished by the county, which more than covers the cost of the program by selling the recyclables. Have you seen some of the stuff being made by recycled materials? Pretty amazing. As for disposal of cell phones and other electronics, those are also heavily recycled out here. I have a client company that takes old electronics like motherboards, pulverizes them, extracts the precious metals, then sends the remains to yet another firm to be reused as filler for road pavement.
